IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-ELEVATOPLS.

Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 39,079, dated June 30,1863.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL E. TEALE, of Norwich, Chenango county, Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWater-Elevators; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of thesame, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure l is an elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan, ofthe same. Fig. 3 shows the improvements in the bucket, together with theattachments.

In Fig. l the teeth of the ratchetwheel R are shown in dotted lines. Thecrank D is provided with a lever, L, the outer end being coniined by thelips or projections l l, attached to the eccentric rim G. The pawl Fisprovided with a catch, k, projecting so as to be caught by theprojection p, attached to the rim G. This is for the purpose of throwingott' the pawl F to let the bucket descend and also throwing it on again.The position of the pawl F when thrown oftis shown by the dotted lines.By this arrangement the ratchetwheel is relieved at any time by a slightmovement ofthe crank D, making it only necessary to use one hand inmanipulating the elevator. The hook e is to hold down the pawl F, andalso to throw oft' or on the pawl F. By eX- tending the crank D andsecuring the lever L within the lips l Z, the brake G is operatedeasily.

In Fig. 2 is shown two stops, s s, placed in the arms A A and attachedto the well-curb and placed near the two ends of the drum B, for thepurpose of directing the coiling of the rope. When the rope reaches oneof these stops, it begins to overlap and coil toward the other end tillagain arrested by the other stop and turned back. These stops may be adjust( d to any convenient distance apart by the slots r r, indicated bydotted lines.

In Fig. 3 are shown two bands, a a', of cast or malleable iron. Theupper one, a, has the two projections or hooks t t on the upper edge ofit for the purpose of catching the tipping-bail to empty the bucket; andthe lower one, a', has two buttons, c c, on the outer side of it, towhich the bail It is attached, thereby avoiding the use of separatehooks and buttons or ears fastened to the bucket by rivets, screws, or

other means heretofore used. These bands are made of malleable iron andcan be readily put upon the bucket U, making it much stronger than theordinary bands.

For the purpose of readily and securely attaching the rope to the bucketthe cup W is made open at the bottom, through which the rope may bepassed and secured by a knot in the end. The cup may be connected withthe ordinary tape-chain.

Having thus shown the construction and operation of my improvements,what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. The catch or click 7c, placed upon the pawl F and operated by thehook e and by the projection p, placed upon the outer edge of the rim G,as set forth. n

2. In combination with the cylinder B and cord, or its equivalent, thestops s s, moving in the slots r 1' of the arms A A, as and for thepurposes set forth.
